Stamm Copenhagen Spring 2025 Collection

“Sending wishes and prayers.” Online, this sentence is often used as an example of how different words and actions can be. By contrast, when Elisabet Stamm titled her spring 2025 collection Best Wishes, she did so without any irony or ulterior motive. This is a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve and is open about her struggles and triumphs. Her collection notes were in the form of a letter addressed to the Youth, and her beloved son Svante and his friends opened the show by releasing three baskets of carrier pigeons to fly back to their homes.

Stamm is still trying to find her place in fashion. She’s no novice in the industry, but her brand has only been around for two years. This show, her fourth, was presented on a rooftop basketball court in a newly built, somewhat soulless-feeling neighborhood outside the city center, but the designer and her friends brought the love. The audience and cast were among the most diverse of the week, and despite the heat, die-hards wore the label’s signature oversized jackets, which combine sports and streetwear influences.

She continues to expand her denim offerings, experimenting with prints and washes that reference her trucker father’s grease-stained pants (see the low-rise pants held up with a ribbon that mimics the exposed thong look on the side). The opening ensemble – a simple butter yellow T-shirt and gray-washed jeans with a slightly lower crotch and fuller legs, worn with sloppy leggings – had an indelibly cool attitude. The denim in the second look builds on the elephant leg jeans from her last collection, only this season’s has a double, dropped waist and an asymmetric turn-up.

Denim and nylon tops were the heroes of a collection. Tonks, blinded by the word “guilty,” looked Bebe-esque, though the sentiment was sincere and partially referenced Stamm’s efforts to find work-life balance. Elsewhere, the shorts and bra tops presented a sexier image than in the past. Lacking the flow of previous seasons, this wasn’t a slam dunk collection, but Stamm, a rare female designer specializing in streetwear, always keeps things real: she wrote that she was “working with an equal balance of ‘Bless You / Fuck You ‘. ‘energy.’
